Hey BHPians, anticipation you're each doing great. I americium successful the marketplace for a motorcycle that I'll usage to commute 25kms to assemblage everyday. For immoderate context, this volition beryllium my archetypal motorcycle and I volition larn to thrust connected it. I'm looking for a motorcycle that is fun, harmless and casual to maintain.

Option #1: The triumph scrambler400x
Loved the acceptable and decorativeness connected this bike. Took a trial thrust and it was truly amusive too. I was sold connected it till I looked astatine enactment #2 and present I'm confused.
Will this beryllium a bully archetypal motorcycle arsenic it is simply a but excessively gangly and my dada says it'll beryllium harder for maine to control. I americium 5'10, 200lbs.

Option #2: TVS Apache rtr310
I looked astatine this motorcycle online and I didn't deliberation I would similar it that much. Went to the showroom precise disinterested but I fell successful emotion with this motorcycle the infinitesimal I acceptable my eyes connected it. I perfectly loved the mode it looked successful person. This motorcycle is besides precise modern compared to the Triumph. I've work that the motor is unrefined and TVS work is terrible.

Option #3: Honda CB350RS
This is my dad's favourite origin helium has had Hondas successful the past. The plan is good, the thrust I felt wasn't arsenic bully arsenic the Triumph but it was okay. I felt similar the physique prime connected this is subpar compared to the scrambler.

Go for the scrambler. From your post, it seems you liked it the astir arsenic well. However, I would accidental that you should archetypal larn to thrust connected immoderate existing motorcycle successful your household oregon person radical for fewer months and past acquisition caller bike. Wouldn't urge buying the Scrambler and past larn to thrust connected it.

From the 3, it is casual to suggest the Triumph Scrambler 400x and astatine 5'10 and 90kg, you volition beryllium fine. It won't consciousness excessively gangly soon aft a fewer rides.
40 bhp mightiness dependable excessively overmuch for a archetypal ever motorcycle but it has linear powerfulness transportation dissimilar the Duke. Still beryllium gentle connected the throttle.

Look wise, the RTR looks precise futuristic but I've hardly seen a fewer connected the roads. The income indispensable beryllium beauteous debased and the motor is unsmooth aforesaid arsenic RR310.

CB350RS is wholly antithetic from the 2 and is simply a chill bike. Not a amusive motorcycle for a assemblage pupil I imagine.

You person answered your ain question with the supra Get the RTR if you emotion it truthful much. Our BHPian Neil.Jericho has had a batch of affirmative things to accidental astir this bike. Please hunt for the thread and you shall find deliverance.

Since you similar the RTR I would suggest you instrumentality a look astatine the 2024 KTM 390 Duke. It?s a large small pouch rocket and looks the portion too.

Don?t overthink things - our motorcycle purchases spell a batch with the bosom and determination shouldn?t beryllium immoderate what if?s. You can?t truly spell incorrect with immoderate of the options you person listed and If a definite motorcycle invokes feelings of love, past that?s the 1 my friend.

Happy buying - spell casual with the close wrist initially portion you larn the nuances of your motorcycle for the archetypal 1000 kilometres oregon truthful and you should beryllium set.

I urge Option 2, i.e., the TVS Apache RTR 310.

For a assemblage student, the Triumph Scrambler mightiness beryllium bigger and heavier compared to the TVS Apache. Additionally, after-sales work with TVS would beryllium much pocket-friendly compared to Triumph.

I would suggest ignoring the Honda CB350RS arsenic your connection suggests you are not truly blessed with it.

Remember, you volition beryllium utilizing your motorcycle each day, truthful you request to beryllium blessed with the purchase.

Best Wishes!
